President Bola Tinubu cannot afford to fail, writes Abdul Okwechime Finally, the day is here. It’s been long in coming. Painfully, the woman who sowed the seed is not around
Finally, the day is here. It’s been long in coming. Painfully, the woman who sowed the seed is not around to harvest the fruits. However, Iya Oloja, Habibat Mogaji, in her world beyond, will turn with pride and smile in fulfillment. It was her who took young Bola to the foot of brilliant politicians like the Dan Masanin Kano, Alhaji Maitama Sule, the legendary Aminu Kano and other great politicians of yore because she saw greatness in the child.
Mr. President Sir, if you had previously taken the Mandate Anthem, of your party loyalists, as just a song for the usual dancing and merry making, now is the time to feel the pains and complete trust, in that music. Pains from the millions of souls searching for deliverance over the years, from a deliverer they believe in. And you must do it Sir, because that is what they mean when they chant, “on your mandate we shall stand”.
You once described your campaigns as gruesome. Indeed, but that’s nothing, compared to the work you have just signed up to. The difference is that while the campaign road shows were tiring and energy sapping, this, will be exhaustive and brain storming. You CANNOT back off. Not that it’s too late, but because you were not brought up like that, your pedigree won’t allow it. So from where you are coming from, from your antecedent, you dare not fail or falter.
Gladly you are not a joker, you have never been, so don’t take the task ahead for a joke, not even for a second. Politics ended at the polls, now is the work time. Forget the shenanigans of sharing of offices because none of those jostling for positions know how the shoe pinches. Believe me Sir, they are all wearing different sizes of shoes and most of them are just for mere fashion. Yours are not.
